Main Difference between the Spinet and others

The hammers are the same size in ALL 4 piano styles.  The Spinet Piano keys will PULL up the hammers to strike the strings.  In the larger pianos, the keys will PUSH up the hammers to strike the strings.

Because the soundboard of a Spinet is the shortest of the piano family, the ‘hammer action’ is lowered to fit inside the piano and therefore the hammers need to be leveraged differently than they are in the larger brothers.

 

Notice, all the hammers are the same size, but it's where they are placed in relation to the size of the soundboard making the difference being the spinet keys PULL up the hammer action while the others PUSH up the action hammers.

  • Not sure if it was Jay ('The Piano Man'?) I spoke with, but that had to have been one of the rudest interactions I've ever encountered with a rep at any piano store. I had a question about one of the models they have (literally just asked what year it was made), and there was immediate hostility. The dude may not care what it is or when it was made, but if I'm investing money into an kind of instrument, I want to know everything I can about it. I told him that I'm relocating to CO in about a month and asked if he could post a recording of it if it wouldn't be too much trouble (originally found on Facebook)--he just said to come in person and hung up. I was fully intending to purchase the piano over the phone and have it taken care of within the week like any regular transaction, but I wasn't able to get that far into the conversation. No clue why he acted like it was such an imposition to be asked a question.

  • Jay delivered our 100yr old upright grand piano yesterday, it is gorgeous! Then he delighted us all as he entertained us with some songs, he's so much fun! I'm grateful we found Jay. We had been looking for a piano for a while and each was either too $$$ or not in good shape. Jay is doing a great service by saving these pianos. He cleans and tunes each one. He has extensive knowledge about pianos and is willing to share all he knows. He took great care and time to explain everything to me so I could select the perfect instrument for our family. He does all this to share his love for the piano and get more pianos into homes. We could not be happier! Thank you Jay, the experience was unforgettable! We'll treasure our piano forever!

  • Jay the piano man deserves more than 5 stars! I am so impressed with my piano! He was great to work with and an amazing pianist as well. It was so fun listening to him play and getting to hear what the piano sounds like in our space.
